  1. Chapters 21 & 17 – Solar/Lunar Eclipses and the Seasons Sun, Moon and the Earth • Forms a system • Moon revolves around the Earth • Earth revolves around the Sun • Earth and the Moon travel around the Sun together

  2. Earth and the Moon • Earth and the Moon are always moving • Always casting shadows

  3. Earth, Moon and the Sun • Eclipse – when one object in space casts a shadow on another object in space • The changing positions of the Moon, Sun and the Earth cause eclipses. http://youtu.be/h4yZ2dt7SVI eclipses song  2 min

  4. DAYLIGHT SME Solar Eclipse • The Moon comes directly between the Earth and the Sun. • The Moon blocks the Sun’s light from reaching parts of the Earth • The Moon gets in the way of the sunlight • The Moon casts a shadow on Earth. http://youtu.be/8ldmbJqyz78 3 min http://youtu.be/Pf0ZSdclYQ4 1 min • Solar eclipse can happen ONLY during a NEW MOON Phase

  5. Lunar Eclipse NIGHTIME SEM • The Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon. • The Earth casts a shadow on the Moon. • Earth blocks sunlight from reaching the Moon http://youtu.be/wuhNZejHeBg 1 ½ min http://youtu.be/SKtNgD45OB4 3 ½ min • Lunar eclipse can ONLY happen during a FULL MOON phase

  6. The Seasons • In many places on Earth, one season follows the other. • This cycle of seasons continues from year to year. http://youtu.be/DuiQvPLWziQ 2 min http://youtu.be/_KouS3mzlwM 4 min

  7. The Seasons • Seasons are a division of time based on unique weather conditions. • Weather is the condition of the atmosphere at a particular time and place. • Climate is the average weather conditions over a long period of time.

  8. Earth • Earth can be divided into two halves using the equator. • Hemisphere – (hemi - half) (sphere – hollow globe or ball) Northern Hemisphere Southern Hemisphere

  9. The Seasons • The seasons are not the same on all parts of the Earth at the same time. • Because of the angle of the Sun’s rays and the amount of surface area, temperatures are affected.

  10. The Seasons • When the Earth’s axis is not tilted toward or away from the Sun, this marks the beginning of Fall or Spring.

  11. Causes of the Seasons • The combine effects of the Earth’s tilt on its axis and its revolution around the Sun causes the Seasons. • As the Earth revolves around the Sun, it stays tilted at 23.5º.

  12. Differences in the Seasons • Earth’s tilt causes the differences in temperatures from one season to the next . • The Sun’s rays strike Earth unevenly – at different angles at different times of the year. • The tilt influences the angle of the Sun’s rays striking the Earth. • Directly overhead (Summer) – you feel hot.

  13. Differences in the Seasons • The amount of daylight also changes with the seasons. • This influences the temperatures of the seasons. • Summer – more hours of daylight – the Sun heats Earth’s surface for a longer amount of time. • Winter – less hours of daylight – less heat – cooler temperatures .
